    Added all these to my want to read list. Goal is to read 50 books this year and most will be Stephen King. But it will be nice to sprinkle some of these into the mix, definitely intrigued by The Final Girl Support Group, Let the Right One In, Chestnut Man, and Chasing The Boogeyman. Thanks for the video!

    I just finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane in December and loved it. I then picked up Smoke and Mirrors by Gaiman which is a collection of short stories you may also enjoy. I'm going to try Good Omens next.

    Reading Carrion Comfort right now. First Dan Simmons books, so far so good! It's definitely a chunky one haha. I've got the Terror, The Abominable, Drood, Ilium/Olympos, and Children of the Night I'm looking forward to. Been wanting to get into Nick Cutter, Grady Hendrix, definitely want to read Let The Right One In (just watched the movie). Definitely found the others you mentioned interesting as well! Awesome video!

    Hey Jimmy! I've been catching up on your videos. Have you ever read The Fisherman by John Langan? It's a folk horror, not sure if that's up your alley, but I thought if it when you mentioned how unusual it is to have a horror book that does horror AND beautiful writing really well. The Fisherman isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's my favorite all-time book!
